Ball joints and/or tie rod ends

[sexjay]

not sure if this is the right section but o well..so recently I've been hearing some popping from my front end (seems to be passenger side) when I back up and sometime when I turn. I've also heard some creaking/cracking noises from the front end while turning or sometimes driving straight on a rough road....wondering if you guys have any tips on this..thinking about ordering ball joints and TREs soon. I've also heard of people replacing there control arm bushings??..not sure why that would make a difference but worth asking. thanks.

It all works together. But before you spend money, I suggest you get under there and have somebody steer it lock to lock. That can help pinpoint it. Other culprits, track bar bushing will give a popping sound sometimes. Mine did. Also passenger side coil spring rubbing on the sway bar.

well I just ordered a new adjustable track bar so hopefully that helps and I know it is not the sway bar

My control arm bushings need replacement, they pop and crack...
